Shell script in 3.0b / Snow Leopard

[Michael Ineichen]

Hi there,

I just realized that the shell script action is no longer there. Have
you intended to bring it back? I can of course work around it with an
apple script, but i was just wondering.

cheer,

michael

There were significant architectural issues that prevented the Shell
Script action from being usefully implemented in that series. It'll be
in the rewrite that is underway, but that won't be done for a while.

For people that want to know the workaround:

In applescript you write

do shell script "someshellcommand"
